Annual post about why Washingtonians should root for the Nats and hate the Orioles

Rather than try to build a narrative about the Washington Nationals series with the hated Baltimore Orioles, I think I’ll just make it short: The Baltimore Orioles and their owner Peter Angelos voted against D.C. baseball, “acquired” 90% of the Nats TV rights and kept the Nats off of most D.C. area cable systems for almost two whole seasons. The archives of this are at Peter Angelos is a coward and MASN Sucks.

Some other asides:

“Washingtonians” who root for the Baltimore Orioles probably also root for Iran and North Korea too.

Nobody actually says, “I want to be a Baltimoron!” but when a Washingtonian wears the orange and black, that’s what they’re saying.
